Engineering Consultancy Firm TECOSIM Chooses Moldflow Software for Plastics Simulation
Moldflow Corporation announced that TECOSIM GmbH, a leading independent engineering consultancy firm, has chosen Moldflow Plastics Insight – Enterprise Edition™ (MPI-e™) as their standard simulation tool for the in-depth design and optimization of plastic parts.
Moldflow Plastics Insight® (MPI®) is a widely used plastics simulation software for the in-depth analysis of the injection molding process and it can be used to predict and solve potential design, manufacturing and material problems before they are encountered in a production environment. Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition is a specially packaged version of MPI that provides broad access to the wide-ranging functionality included in the MPI suite of products.
Having built a strong reputation based on expertise in various fields of engineering simulation to predict the performance of components and structures, TECOSIM will now be able to predict the process boundaries of injection molded plastic parts using MPI-e. TECOSIM customers involved in the design and manufacture of injection molded plastic parts stand to benefit now that they are getting access to the world’s most widely-used plastics simulation software.
“TECOSIM is a highly respected provider of simulation solutions and we are pleased that they have chosen MPI-e as the standard for their injection molding simulation services,” stated Andreas Schmedding, Moldflow’s Central European Sales Director. He added, “We continue to see steady adoption of our products by companies such as TECOSIM that want to provide state-of-the-art simulation services to their clients and we look forward to helping solve their most difficult challenges.”
Robert Nösner, General Manager TECOSIM GmbH, Rüsselheim adds, “For plastic parts, simulation of the injection molding process and the resulting effect on a part’s properties has become so important, optimizing the design and manufacturing process parameters is now essential. MPI is able to identify and optimize manufacturing and part parameters in a very early stage and thanks to interfaces to other programs, it is possible to transfer results to structural analysis software and gain a better overall understanding of the challenges. This ‘Co-Simulation’ improves the value of analysis and allows us to better realize the optimization potential.”
